Festival organisers have sold 10,000 tickets to date - 60% up on last year's sell-out show in Dares-bury, which 40,000 people attended.

The success is thanks to the line-up of Ronson and headline acts such as dance legends The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Kelis, LCD Sound-system, Carl Cox and New Young Pony Club, all performing tracks from their latest albu m s.

Producer Mr Ronson is making his debut at the festival which takes place on August 25 in Daresbury, playing live and DJing.

He said: 'Creamfields is a legendary festival.

'I've always wanted to play there and the fact that we'll be debuting there with the full live band is even fresher. I can't wait.'

Cream boss James Barton added: 'We are delighted with the response we have had so far as it proves what an excellent line-up we have this year.

'Along with being our second year on the site, it seems Creamfields 2007 is well on its way to being one of our biggest to date.'
